Sorry ladies, I searched and couldn't find anything similar on here.
So I finally started Saturday, I worked the 2-10:30. I felt like I really accomplished something that day. I learned alot, overcame some fears, and made $250 without doing hardly any lapdances. I did fall on stage once, but I wasn't even that embarassed. I kept telling people it was my first day (as if they couldn't tell) and I think it actually helped my tips. Then on Sunday, which was both Mother's Day and my 21st birthday, I worked from 4 until 1:30am.
That Saturday, I didn't think I would make it through the whole shift. The shoes were totally kicking my butt. Early in the day when there are fewer girls working we do 15 min sets, and then later we do 10 min sets. By the time I left that night I was having trouble pushing in the clutch in my car. I expected to be sore but this was terrible. Sunday I took advantage of the fact that I was able to drink so I could relax a bit. I didn't get trashed or anything, but when I asked for constructive critism on Saturday i kept hearing "Relax, don't look so nervous" and I really wasn't that nervous, just tired.
Anyway so my second day was easier, physically, but when I woke up this morning I couldn't move. I had to get a babysitter because I literally couldn't get off the couch. I did a little on the pole, practicing since I have no idea what I was doing, but I ended up on the floor quite a bit, I could be sexy without worrying that my legs would give in on me at any given moment, my knees are sore, but my ankles are swollen and my upper thighs won't even let my legs bend the way they should. Is it normal to be THIS sore or am I doing something wrong? I guess I'm just looking for reassurance because I had alot of fun and I really want this to work, but I even rescheduled important appointments today because I was so sore I needed help walking to the bathroom!!
I'm really sorry this is so long!!
Thanks!!

I don't have any muscle pain. I think that had a lot to do with weight training before dancing. I've been dancing for about a 1.5 months. For the past 2-3 weeks, I've had REALLY bad knee pain. I thought it was my shoes, so I got some different ones. Tomorrow, I'm going to get some new running shoes and see if that will help. I didn't have the knee pain until 2 weeks after dancing, but my job before this was very sedentary (medical transcription, so I sat most of the day). When I first started cardio training, I had a similar problem in my left knee, had x-rays, showed nothing, and my doctor said it was because my body wasn't used to the new activity. It's been 2 weeks, not getting any better, and now, it's worrying me. I was wondering if you could post more info about the knee pain issue. Thanks.
